Appendix F: Non-Hitachi racks

All VSP Gx00 models storage systems can be installed into non-Hitachi racks.
The following describes the requirements and guidelines for installing the storage
system into a non-Hitachi rack.

Non-Hitachi rack support

The storage system supports non-Hitachi racks that meet Hitachi specifications.
Observe the following mounting guidelines for non-Hitachi racks:
The VSP Gx00 models support any 4-post, EIA-310-D compliant rack that has
■
adequate airflow and weight capacity.
PDUs must be mounted properly to avoid any issues while servicing the storage
■
system. The PDU receptacles must face toward the back (not toward each other). The
area behind the storage system and between the vertical 19-inch mounting posts
must be free of PDUs and cable loops.
